Removing wireless armrest charger?

Im trying to apply a 3D printed mod for the wireless charger to accept bigger phones. I've been able to add two credit cards to the sides and lift up the wireless charger but the cables are tight to the point I can't lift the unit up.

Is there any guide or details on how to remove the wireless charger from the armrest?

Guide Step by Step

I recently managed to remove it. Unfortunately it is necessary to remove the entire armrest as the cables are locked inside (P2 4).

These are the steps I followed:
P1 (1-2) - Remove the air vents. In photo 2 you see the central clip that holds them in place.
P1 (3-4) - Remove the remaining frame (the one with the usb sockets). You can put it down without unplugging the cable. This frame is held by 4 interlocking clips on the edges, see photo 4
P2a (1-2) - Detach only the cables of the armrest and remove the 2 bolts inside to completely remove the armrest
P2 (3) - Remove the first rear part of the armrest
P2 (4) - Remove the clamps on both sides to be able to remove the cables later
P3 (5) - Rotate the armrest as shown to remove the other half
P3 (6) - As you suggested, lift the back of the charger with 2 tiles
P3 (7) - To detach the cables fixed on the bottom you have to remove these 4 screws
P3 (8) - The charger is removed, I have left the cooling fan disconnected
